Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Elkfork, KY.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug problem continue.

In many cases, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they receive addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Addiction rehab for persons with HIV or AIDS in Elkfork can include detoxification treatment which are safely administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is encouraged.
